Votann vs Tau. Who has the mightier big gun? Warhammer 40k in 40m 

T’au Nick here. Ooof. Sorry I messed up the wall of mirrors stratagem. Was used to how it worked in the old codex. Will get it right next time.

Honestly, the editing makes these watchable. I want a 40k battle, but I don’t want to spend 3 hours watching it.

The stealth suit pause joke caught me off guard and got a laugh out of me. Good work with the production, fun video!

Love Tycho's narration. He is perfect. Very interesting, perfect voice for the job, and doesn't over or under explain, doesn't steal the spotlight, but still captures your complete attention.

whoever decided on the stealth suit pause joke definitely deserves a high five and a slice of pizza

Damn production value is already showing, good job guys this is quality

Just a heads up, judging opponents units for holding objectives only happens at the end of the opponent's turn, not at the end of the Votann turn.

I have been wanting a votann vs tau game for a while now. I think not being farsight hurt here. The problem with kauyon is that you need to stay alive to do stuff for turns 3, 4, and 5 and that can be very difficult against an aggressive army. Votann are pretty aggressive and generally pressure the kauyon player. In the end Mont'ka is the true philosophy of the tau. I am here to continue the campaign to request Tau Nick vs GS Nick vs Guard Nick! Think of all the sound effects! Hopefully, narrated by Nick. Maybe Tau Nick vs Rebel Nick in either star wars legion or 40k game with custom rules for factions.

"They've stolen my rail weapons!" Pretty sure they had those magna-rail weapons when the T'au ancestors were still in the primordial soup. Besides, in lore the Kin taught the T'au how to make and use ion weapons.

Wow that railgun really cut them to Pisces!

I love the kindness displayed by both Nick and JT. Makes me feel comfortable about joining the hobby

The matchup I wanted to see, a test of railgun vs railgun. And the railguns did practically nothing between either army. Also man, this is the game of one wound remaining. For all the talk of "the Votann are slow", they do seem to get up the table in matches. "So now you've paused just to read this" Well played Play On, well played.

Your effects getting even better! That thumbnail looks amazing.

Finding easy ways to make buildings has become a new obsession of mine and those pop-up versions are sweet. Would be so great to keep in a kit and have an easy ready launch game in so many scenarios.

You guys sparked my love for Warhammer and inspired me to create my own army

*Its amazing Nick did not throw in the T'auwel*

Didn't think it was possibile, but you took it up a big notch. Damn guys! Amazing batrep, editing, presentation, everything!

The production quality of your vids is simply so far above most of the other battle reports on RU-vid, it is amazing. Also, congratz to the Space Dwarves. ROCK AND STONE, BROTHERS!

This makes me want LoV vs GSC more because of tokens vs tokens

So pumped for this!

Seeing the guys' models in the intros always makes me envious of their skills but inspires me to keep coming back to the work table to hone my own painting skill. Same goes for the sportsmanship and fun you guys always put on display for us. Thanks for always being wonderful and a special thanks to Nick for inspiring me to dive head first into the hobby as Tau player. You guys rock!

Now explosions are great.. but man was I screaming at my screen for JT to use his iron-master to repair the Hekaton !!

Great game. That was wonderful sportsmanship from JT when Nick was gonna do the ignore invulnerable save ability. :)

Awesome game again from you all. Always nice to see JT make an appearance in a game! Very strategic player.

Love the stealth suits picture in the intro. So camouflaged they completely blend in

Man, love this content! Quality is better than ever, can’t wait to see as the studio gets more upgrades!

I absolutely love the dynamic between everyone on this channel. You guys are so funny and light-hearted. Keep up the amazing work lads!

Hey guys, I love the pacing of this video. I think the mix of narration and the commentary is a good balance it keeps it very interesting. You guys keep getting better and better!

Great episode! Thanks a lot, guys, such an awesome delivery, easily the best batrep channel/format on RU-vid! Question - you boys planning some boarding actions?

That stealth suit joke got me. Hahaha

Oh, finally. I was waiting for JT to get real and teach this fishlings what is true undeniable power is. Amazing game!

Uncut 😂 So they are mammals! I got you Nick 😉

I paused the video. I giggled. You got me. I love you guys 🤣

1:49 I wanted to leave a like on the video after reading that edit, only to realize I already liked the video 😁

Nick is the person who inspired me to start playing 40k, but more importantly, to play in the name of the greater good and railgun the sh*t out of everything. Great video, hoping to see more!

The new editing is amazing. Keep up the good work guys!!!

1:49 "stealth suits" hahahaha brilliant!

Been wanting to see more Tau vs Votann. THE CONTENT GODS SMILE UPON THIS FIELD OF BATTLE.

In an alternate universe (spoiler-free): You did it! You really are the Railgun 40k

Loving the new backgrounds, huge huge huge improvement that I didn’t even know we needed

These videos are top notch guys, keep it up

That table graphic, at the start, really hit the yum yum spot. 🙏🤩💥

Pretty neat 3d effect for the deployment area when showing off the mission and objectives at the beginning

What an absolutely delightful game. I could watch JT and Nick just talk about their girthy railguns all day. Thanks for this, I loved it.

That stealth suit secret message stunned me for multiple turns.

those terrain look amazing i may have to put in an order this payday also amazing video as always!

Hecka-chonk Land Tortoise has entered the chat

Amazing job guys. Best TT game production on youtube.

Hey I wanted to say I realize that JT was using the books 2 shots per bolt cannon on the hekaton. They actually changed it to be 3 per bolt cannon in an FAQ. Just wanting him to be using the hekachonk at full

The longer i look the more I start to think that this episode should be named "and X survives with 1 wound!" ^^

😀 My 2 favorite armies!!! Thanks for doin this game guys, this was one of my favorites!.

Awesome video editing guys!

The new presentation looks absolutely great!

Yes...yes I did. I did pause the video just to read that.

At first i was like "DANG! NO J.T. NARRATION!? WHAT IS PLAYON COMING TO!" Then i saw he was playing and i calmed right down! The child of CHAOS is a great narrator, but i fell in love with the amazing voice of the one and only J.T.

Didn't your sponsor allegedly get sued for ripping off another project's design wholesale?

JT noooo! "uncut"... roflmao! That was great and the edit done perfect lol!

The editing is incredible on these videos. Its very nice of you to use the pop up terrain, now you can place it in the recycle bin where it belongs tho :)

This battle shall be remember as "The Battle of the Last Wound"

Great game, wonderful watch! Good to see Arks in action! Couple of issues on Tau redeploy, Exemplar of Kauyon outside of Tau sept only allows Shadowsun to redeploy TAU SEPT units as she's not BORKAN. Also Devilfish doesn't get pregame move in Kauyon, it gets the ability to hop into reserves if its near a board edge. Well played all around!

I love watching how other people play 40k since my wife and I are new to Warhammer. It's hard to watch other channels because they are to long and filled with extra banter. Your videos are editing to a perfect consumption size while still having all the important info provided. Please keep them coming

Great game and great sportsmanship. Loved this battle. And as always a support comment for Chaos Daemons. My favorite army.

Awesome video guys! If your open to suggestions I have one good one and a few confirming ones that you have covered already. The one idea, is a two parter but it builds on both principles. Adding a complimentary glow, aka a color that directly works with the background, or game mat, when a character or vehicle or anything fires, also brighter effects when firing, like make them glow like they all had tracers!! I had a hard time seeing where the shots were coming from, often having to rewind to see the effect and angle as well. Otherwise, narrating where units are going if the players do not, yes, large dice for Cmd points, yes, Tycho, yes, Nick having his rail gun blow up in his face, yes (but not in a mean way, just, you know, SPLOSIONS!!), JT's innuendos, yes. Background difference instead of table and minis, yes. Great video!

Imperial Guard Nick is Mighty.

Loved the stealth suit shot in the beginning!

I did in fact hit the pause button to check out the well painted stealth suits.

At the end of the day, the better Railgun is the one that is not rolling 1s.

What a bloody first turn!

Yes!!!!! I love your Tau videos! Please more!

You know things got real when JT’s cap spins the right way around!!!

“Victory to the Diggy Diggy Holes” nice Wind Rose reference.

Damn Tycus " Child of CHAOS " did a hell of a paint job on those Votann, like I love that orange and how it pops xD

Man it feels dirty to play against Votann

I feel like JT is always, ALWAYS saved by the gods of dice.

I must admit - I went back and paused the video exact at the point you would expect... As always - well done folks.

This man really took only a single squad of 3 bikes? Like bro, the bikes are like the best unit that votann have.

Amazing battle! I am terrified of those tau railguns! I feel like if Nick had a more competitive list he would have destroyed the Votann no problems! Even with the horrible dice rolls it was a really close game. If one or two of those key dice rolls went the other way for either player I feel that this game could have ended with one side completely tabled.

Wow I love those Voltann in that paint scheme... seriously making me want to buy and paint some

was that a yogscast "diggy diggy hole" reference i heard at the end? Great video as always

Love the channel great editing. For some reason I found on this one though that the music was mixed too high. Just a friendly note. Great game!

Lol didn't expect that 1:49

I gotta say, those pop up terrain sponsors are cool.

I haven't watched the video yet but I am hyped on the first 15 seconds!

That was an awesome game Play On Tabletop! Love to see a rematch in the future. ;)

“Significantly more girth” 😂

That fundraising campaign is already showing itself off. Love the new effects

Hmmm.... I need to watch more of these videos before I could decide which army I could go as my second faction..... Otherwise, it was a magnificent match from both players. Cheers to you both

That cathedral is awesome!

Great game. Keep on your amazing work

I paused the video. You guys got me. Well played.

I have to do this... you said the words... DID I HEAR A ROCK AND STONE?

If Nick would have painted his Tau in old color scheme then the answer for "Who has the mightier big gun?" would be simple - the orange ones!

YEEEEEES more Votann videos!!

These videos make me want to get into 40k tabletop

Vibing heavy with this episode's Industrial music! 🎸🤖

I paused the video. Lol much appreciated explanation.

"uncut.." cracked me up

This is certified el classico match

The terrain is really nice! Last game I played we used the same set! I was very surprised by it!

I went back and paused. totally worth it haha
